It's my birthday today, so to celebrate, I got Native instruments to run a 'Summer of Sound Sale' just for you.
OK no not really but it does coincide which works out well.
Anyway, treat yourself to a new library or something, and if you use my link, I get a little present too. No extra cost for you though of course, that would be mean.

#InspiredBySound - Logic 11 Studio Piano Playthrough

Onj, 29 days ago to Logic

It's #Logic 11 update day, so while I wait excitedly for a whole new version number to drop, as we go from V10 to V11, what better way to pass the time than to copy text I sent to a Logic WhatsApp group and email list into #ElevenLabs, chuck some music under it and make a silly production out of it? In Logic obviously.

There are plenty of free instruments in the world, but this piano really is one of the finest, in my humble opinion.

I'm featuring on a new album today. Not every track, but certainly a few of them.

I've made a very talky video this time around, as I think explaining my particular brand of madness may help some.
I take you through my choice of where to place VoiceOver Hotspots so that I get the best out of #LogicPro quickly and efficiently.
Notice I say 'I' and not You.

As this is one of the most subjective videos I've ever made, I want to make it clear that this isn't so much Logic-related as it is Me-related.

What works for me may not work for you, and that's of course absolutely fine, but Hotspots in-general tend to go under-used by many VoiceOver users, so if this benefits anyone at all, I'll be happy.
Personally, I'm so much slower without them and get annoyed when they don't function as intended. That's one of the major downsides to such things, and for transparency I talk about that as well.
When they do work for me however, they are the fastest way to navigate Logic that I personally know of.

Take two notes. In this case, G# and A#, put chords around them. You might think it's quite simple and boring, but I don't think so. It can flow like water in a gentle river. You can take the idea in many different directions. https://youtu.be/mRQOuzeARos

On this Sunday, I offer up this playlist of chilled out tracks, in which you may find simple, relaxing elements and nothing jarring or loud. I hope it will aid you in feeling good and letting some worries go.

“Feel Alright” fuses jazz-funk, latin breaks and New York hip-hop together”, Cian states. Pianist Onj (AKA Andre Louis) added the latin style keys to the classic chord hook, which sits alongside the four-to-the-floor section. New York native and versatile emcee JSWISS brings the “NYC Flavour” with his effortless flow, uniting the hip-hop bounce with the bruk groove. “It all amounted to a final song that gave me A Tribe Called Quest vibes, but if they made broken beats.” https://tru-thoughts.co.uk/releases/feel-alright-feat-jswiss-onj-murder-sound-feat-dread-mc/

I like #Rhodes, so yesterday I did a four-hour live-stream about two new ones from #NativeInstruments. I'd be surprised if there's a more in-depth playthrough of the presets in these two libraries on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/live/0qMUg9iiTKU?si=c2eZMi8mRjW05ZQf

2 PM UK, 9 AM Eastern today, Is this thing on? #NativeInstruments Electric Tines Duo.
Two deeply-sampled Rhodes plugins. Warm sound. Great playability.
I'll play each preset in both of these libraries for your listening pleasure.

I've talked before about how some default #DAW metronome sounds are stupid.
#Cubase, #ProTools... Just go home. Go home, stay at home and don't let anyone have to hear that shower singing noise. Kill it with fire. Or water as the case may be.

#Logic... Where you going with that? You can't leave the house with that stupid click. Get to your room!

#Reaper... Reaper... What? Just no. Don't even look at me like that, you know you're just wrong. Stop it. Don't!

#Ableton... Finally someone I'm not embarrassed to be seen with. Well done, well done.
#Maschine... Yep, you ain't half-bad either. Good. Proud of you.

Sure, you can make others behave nicer, but why are so many default metronomes just such a pile of shite?

'I Hate Traffic Wardens' is an early 2000's song that I co-wrote with my friend James Berry when we were in college together. With the power of #AI and in particular #Demucs, I was able to separate out his vocoded vocals from the music, and I rebooted the music in #LogicPro, effortlessly sliding his original 2002 vocal over the top. This is the result.

Having been a self-professed MIDI/Finger drummer since the 90’s, and a ridiculous fanboy of XLNAudio Addictive Drums since the 2000’s, it seemed only fitting to make an entire ‘Is this thing on?’ Live-stream about my favourite presets from AD2, so that’s exactly what I did, for nearly 2.5 hours last Saturday. https://www.youtube.com/live/ImhfmFJddO8?si=fyWyuvfQFtnxNnpL

Today's live-stream is about one of my all-time favourite drum plug-ins ever made.
